This is a critical leadership role responsible for driving significant year-over-year growth in qualified pipeline and shaping how we go to market across priority verticals and enterprise accounts.
You will be a senior stakeholder in developing our GTM strategy alongside Marketing, Sales, BDR, and Partnerships leadership. You’ll help translate our business priorities into integrated plans for how we create, capture, and convert enterprise demand across priority verticals.
A critical part of this role is leading and developing the team. You will lead a team of marketers with a strong focus on generating demand within specific verticals through account-based marketing.
You will build on this foundation, and will centralize demand generation best practices while empowering the team to maintain deep vertical expertise.

Accelerate enterprise ABM: Evolve our ABM strategy and capabilities to create and accelerate demand across accounts, verticals, and buying groups.
Measure and optimize: Use data, market insights, and campaign performance to identify new avenues for growth, determine where to invest or scale back, and develop new demand generation motions where needed.
Lead and develop the team: Build and develop a high-performing team, strengthening its operating model, strategic capabilities, and talent.
Establish the operating model: Collaborate with events and integrated marketers to establish clear planning, measurement, forecasting, and accountability across verticals and programs.
Scale marketing excellence: Synthesize and share campaign learnings, frameworks, and best practices to continuously raise the bar for demand generation within the region and globally.
Who you are:

You move fluidly between setting the strategy and getting into the details needed to make it successful, with a strong bias toward data, experimentation, and measurable outcomes.
Enterprise expert:
You understand how to create demand within complex enterprise accounts and orchestrate Marketing, Sales, BDRs, and Partnerships around high-value opportunities.
Vertical fluency:

High data literacy with hands-on experience using marketing analytics and tools to track full-funnel performance and optimize ROI.
Talent Builder:
